I knew a few of my friends who didn’t apply for any jobs, and when their OPT period was about to end, they found some consultants to help them process their H1B visa.

I also knew a few who didn’t even thought about searching for jobs. After graduation they just went straight to consultants and found some jobs through them.

I always favored permanent employment over contract positions. Job search is, by itself, already a full time work.

A couple of my friends, when they’re in their OPT period, were very desperate to find a job and time was running out for them. They always get up early in the morning and start looking for jobs.

Because of their persistence, they were able to learn many job search secrets, such as what time email must be sent to HR people, what modifications must be made to resumés while applying for jobs specific jobs, to name a few.

Finally, they got the job that they enjoy now, even after 3 years of searching.

Current students who are looking for jobs will know how difficult it is to get an interview call, but once they have that first interview, things seem to flow smoothly afterwards.

But getting that first interview call is what matters most and it take lots of effort to have it.

There are so many different ways that are available that can help students get jobs and interview invites much faster and more worry free.

Hi,

I have questions regarding the job search. Well, I was just wondering what is the right time to look for a job? Hopefully, I will be graduating on Spring 2011, so thinking to apply the EAD/ OPT before 3 months of my graduation. Should I be looking for a job from now on, or do I need to wait for Spring to come because every job I am looking for ask if I do have EAD.
